Texaco 904 Grease

The 904 Grease series consists of calcium soap greases fortified with graphite for use as track rail lubricants, or where a grease containing graphite is required.

Product Application

The frictional forces developed by steel train wheels rolling on the rail combined with the steering forces exerted by the rail rubbing against the wheel increases energy consumption and accelerates the wear of both wheel (tread and flange) and rail.  This can be a serious problem, particularly for systems operating heavily loaded unit trains or those having numerous curves.  Proper lubrication of the rail at critical locations can significantly lower maintenance costs and increase fuel efficiency.

Both 904 Grease and 904 Grease W are formulated to meet the pumpability and load carrying requirements of a track lubricant.  Extensive service testing has demonstrated their ability to improve wheel and track life, while reducing the frictional forces and increasing fuel efficiency.

Product Description and Features

The 904 Grease series are calcium soap greases made with highly refined naphthenic base oils. 904 Grease W contains a low viscosity base oil for good pumpability at temperatures down to -30'F.  Both greases contain graphite for enhanced anti-wear and load carrying properties.  These greases offer good resistance to the mechanical shear associated with lubricator operation.

Benefits

In service the 904 Grease series provides:

• Enhanced wear protection of wheels and track
• Good lubricity for improved fuel economy
• Suitability for a wide variety of track and wheel lubricator systems
• Excellent pumpability for applications in a wide variety of track lubricator systems
